Active in Week 16 Watson (chest/shoulder) is active for Saturday's game at Chicago, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Watson seemed destined to miss time after he suffered a chest injury last Sunday against the Broncos that forced a visit to a Denver-area hospital. Having said that, he followed up no activity at Tuesday's walkthrough with back-to-back limited practices, leaving the door open for him to play this weekend. Coach Matt LaFleur told Zach Kruse of USA Today on Thursday that Wednesday's session was "encouraging" for Watshon, but that his availability was "going to come down to a medical decision and where he's at Saturday." With his status now confirmed for Week 16, Watson will join Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed, Matthew Golden, Dontayvion Wicks (ankle), Bo Melton and Savion Williams as the wide receivers available to QB Jordan Love.

Questionable for Saturday Watson (chest/shoulder) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game at Chicago, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Watson thus appears to have a chance to miss no time as a result of the chest-related injury that he sustained while laying out for a deep ball from QB Jordan Love this past Sunday at Denver that resulted in a trip to a Denver-area hospital. After he logged a limited practice Wednesday, he told Matt Schneidman of The Athletic that he was "feeling pretty good" and expects to be "alright" for Week 16 action. On Thursday, coach Matt LaFleur said Wednesday's session was "encouraging" for Watson, but "it's going to come down to a medical decision and where he's at on Saturday," per Zach Kruse of USA Today. Watson's status will be confirmed about 90 minutes before Saturday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff.

Logs limited practice, hopes to play Watson (chest/shoulder) said Wednesday that he's "feeling pretty good" and expects to be "alright for the game" against Chicago on Saturday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports...

Impact Watson was down on the ground for a while after an awkward fall during Saturday's 34-26 loss to the Broncos. He didn't rejoin the game, and was even sent to the hospital briefly, but he flew home with his teammates Sunday night before managing limited practice participation Wednesday.

DECEMBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

In line for limited practice Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said Wednesday that Watson (chest/shoulder) is expected to practice in a limited capacity, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Watson was not able to participate in Tuesday's walk-through practice after being injured during Sunday's loss to the Broncos, so it's highly encouraging to see him back on the field, even if only as a limited participant. LaFleur said Watson is "fighting to play" Saturday versus the Bears, but at this stage the wideout's availability appears legitimately up-in-the-air. If Watson is able to handle at least limited on-field reps again Thursday, he figures to have a fair chance to gain clearance for Week 16.

Held out of Tuesday's session The Packers listed Watson (chest/shoulder) as a non-participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice.

Impact Watson avoided a major injury after he was briefly hospitalized following a hard fall to the turf during Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Broncos, but his availability for this Saturday's game in Chicago still appears to be very much up in the air. His absence from Tuesday's walk-through session doesn't come as a major surprise, though he'll still likely need to get in some on-field work by Thursday in order to put himself on a path to play this weekend. If the Packers end up listing Watson as questionable for the game following Thursday's practice, head coach Matt LaFleur said that a decision on the wideout's status could be taken "up to game time," per Zach Kruse of USA Today.

Impact Watson was forced out in the second half of this past Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Broncos after his upper body landed hard on the field while he attempted to reel in a deep ball that was intercepted by Patrick Surtain. While LaFleur didn't offer exact details on the nature or the severity of Watson's injury, the wideout was cleared to return to Green Bay following a brief stay in a Denver-area hospital and appears to have avoided a major issue. Even so, Watson could still be challenged to make it back for Sunday's divisional contest, with LaFleur noting that functionality and pain-tolerance will be factors in determining whether the wideout can suit up, per Zach Jacobson of 247Sports.com. A potential Watson absence in Week 16 would free up more routes and snaps for the likes of Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed, Matthew Golden and Dontayvion Wicks.

DECEMBER 15, 2025 • SPORTINGNEWS.COM

Avoids major injury The Packers believe Watson (chest/shoulder) did not suffer a major injury during Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Broncos, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Watson was forced out of Sunday's road loss to Denver and taken to a hospital for treatment, though he was cleared to join his teammates for the return flight to Green Bay. It's a piece of welcome news for the Packers that Watson seemingly won't be forced to endure a long-term absence, but the explosive wideout now faces a short recovery window leading up to Saturday's key road divisional matchup against the Bears. In the event that Watson isn't able to get healthy in time for Week 16, all of Matthew Golden, Dontayvion Wicks and Bo Melton will figure to handle increased roles in the receiving game alongside Romeo Doubs and Jayden Reed.
